I guess the loaves and fishes story is not enough to persuade republican religious folks.
 

Who would Jesus insure? 

The same jackasses who choose to vote for bigotry and inequality are the same jackasses who get dolled up in their raiment on Sundays and selectively discriminate against those same people who Jesus told them to love. 

For example, let's say i am living in sin (you know, with another adult without the civil contract of marriage) and let's say that this other person develops tuberculosis.  This other person doesn't have health care so s/he doesn't get treated.  Sure, that person coughs alot, but I'm no doctor.  Then I get infected.  And since tuberculosis is not only infectious, but contagious, everyone that works near me gets it. My doc won't write an extra dose of ethambutol, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, Rifampicin,streptomycin, ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin or p-aminosalicylic acid for the other infected adult in my household.  No loaves and fishes here.  Guess s/he'll have to go to the emergency room for treatment. S/He's broke, so the tax payer picks up the tab for not only the ER visit, but the directly observed treatment that the health department is going to demand. 

Wait, let me change my position on this...Let Virginia taxpayers pay for the other person's TB treatment (ER visit, Rx'sand the salary of the health department official to directly observe that this person takes his/her medicine.  After all, only a lightened wallet will convince these jackasses to allow for additional insurance much better than ANY BS sermon will.  If they were in the business of believing sermons, we'd probably already have expanded healthcare.

 

Whom would Jesus cure?

And by the way, don't let me catch you at RedLobster eating something from the ocean that doesn't have BOTH fins AND scales. And that HAM sandwich?  Please. Oh, that's in Leviticus, too. Or hadn't you looked?
